My anecdote doesn’t really mean much in the grand scheme being my own personal experience, but I was really grateful when Indiana passed this law. I was at Kroger at the time and they forced us into a union that was run by store management and did not side with employees on any given subject. The fees were taking a pretty good amount of my already miniscule paychecks. I’d rather see a law that prohibits this abusive use of unions by companies more than anything.
I assume downvotes are from people who think I’m lying, but I would love to hear from those downvoting what exactly their problem with this comment is? It was a store in Indiana, I’m not making anything up, and I’m not saying unions are all bad, I’m saying they shouldn’t be allowed to be another strong arm run by the company.
It’s not a union if it’s run by the company, that’s just management board but with an accent.
And any law what allows such a thing is anti-union by default, it’s just an internal misuse of the words meaning (plus it lowers the chances of an actual/additional union to form and on top of that it collects fees from the paychecks it itself gives to the workers for their work? lulwtf). I don’t know if any EU county where such thing is remotely allowed, however unions are (mostly) not enforced in the private sector, even in some cases where the law actually predicts one to be in place (so, company in such a situation is technically breaking the law but at the same time also can’t force or do anything towards starting a union since that would just make it their puppet & regulators would act immediately).
